Thanks for the reply. Don't worry, not going to give up on it, I'd been looking for one for a while.

Mine has the t-slots. I'm hoping I can find someone who'll take measurements of the turret tooling plate so I can machine a copy.

I'd heard that the chuck was a Bison, thanks for confirming and providing the part#. Even used they are quite expensive on eBay. I may have to find a cheaper brand.

Thanks for the ID on the drawtube. If you adapt yours i'd be curious on what length you ended up with. I've not looked inside the spindle so im unsure if the original Light Machines closer was for external threaded collets or internal.

Any idea what the ring is (on the spindle) in the first picture?

Thanks

Tony
